  • Justice League of America #1 review

    Justice League of America #1 "Power & Glory" Written by Bryan Hitch Art by Bryan Hitch Inks by Daniel Henriques, Wade von Grawbadger, and Andrew Currie Colors by Alex Sinclair and Jeromy Cox There have been quite a few questions and reservations surrounding Justice League of America. To be fair, these questions and reservations haven’t…


  • Robin: Son of Batman #1 review

    Batman and Robin was one of my favorite titles and was one of the main reasons I got into monthlies. I was heavily invested in Grant Morrison's entire Batman run and stuck with B&R even after the change from Morrison to Tomasi and Dick to Bruce. Batman and Robin was a colorful exploration of the relationship between…


  • Harley Quinn / Power Girl #1 review

    Somewhere in the Galaxia Del Sombrero, Harley Quinn and Power Girl are having “Extrastellar Exploitations”. If you haven’t been reading the regular Harley Quinn series and just picked this up on a lark, writers Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Justin Gray sum up the predicament pretty efficiently in two panels on the first page (with…


  • Black Canary #1 review

    I have to admit, after reading the preview for Black Canary's solo book, I wasn't too thrilled about her new adventure. The premise and the art style let me know that I was in for a story with a lighter tone than most of the books that I read or review, but I just wasn't…


  • Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #20 review

    Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #20: "Last Pizza" Written by Amy Wolfram Illustrated by Dario Brizuela Colored by Jeremy Lawson Lettered by Wes Abbott We've all been there: you're hanging out with your friends, eating some pizza, when you get to the last slice and have to engage in a no-holds-barred tournament where only the…


  • Upcoming Comics: June 17, 2015

    I feel like I’m a kid again… I saw Jurassic World this weekend, and it took me back to when I was a four-year-old kid watching the first Jurassic Park with my parents. I liked it so much (I was a freak for dinosaurs) that my mom and I went to the movie theater three…


  • Red Hood/Arsenal #1 review

    Spoiler alert, this sucked. A lot of people saw that sentence coming weeks ago when the sneak peek was released, but I had tried to avoid it in order to prevent any biases from bubbling up before I had a chance to read the premier issue of Red Hood/Arsenal.  The streets spoke, and I should…


  • New Suicide Squad #9 review

    New Suicide Squad #9 “Monsters” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond Oh… my… God… I didn’t think this issue was complete crap… I didn’t feel the need to throw my iPad out the window after reading it… I wasn't rocking back and forth from insanity upon reaching the last page……


  • Earth 2: Society #1 review

    With everything Earth 2 has been through – the original New 52 run, an Apokolips invasion in World’s End, the confusing jettison of continuity in Convergence – it’s nice to have a literal reset button to start the whole thing over.  All I have to say is…I loved this.  Sure, maybe I’m biased because I’m…


  • Detective Comics #41 review

    This issue of Detective Comics is NOT illustrated by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato!!! Usually I save the art talk for the last paragraph in my reviews, but opening this book up and finding out that Fernando Blanco did the art and not Manapul & Buccellato was a huge let down.  For those of you who…


  • Injustice: Year Four #3 review

    Did I mention last issue that Injustice feels like the good old days? Because it bears repeating. Whatever plot points took us far afield in Year Three, we’ve returned to (literal) solid ground here in Year Four and it’s great to feel the thrill of picking up each new Digital First issue again. This time…


  • Catwoman #41 review

    Catwoman #41 “Caesar or Nothing” Part 1 Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by David Messina Colors by Lee Loughridge I’ve missed this book, and I’m glad to have it back from its two month vacation. As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of Valentine’s work on Catwoman, and I’ve praised her for writing…


  • Harley Quinn #17 review

    It’s hard to be believe it’s been two months since Harley first started putting together her Gang of Harleys and the regular lineup went into deep-freeze, but we’re back and the gang’s all here in this latest installment titled with spectacular obviousness “The Gang of Harleys” (what, no pun? Ah well). To recap: Harley’s life…


  • Batman/Superman #21 review

    There's been some incredible changes to the status quo of DC's two most popular heroes as of late. Batman and Superman have a lot on their plates with the current shake ups in their lives, respectively. On one hand, Batman has gotten "stronger" along with a new identity. Over yonder in the bright city of…


  • Gotham Academy #7 review

    Damian Wayne!!!!!!!!  That's right, Damian Wayne is joining the cast of Gotham Academy!  Oh wait....no he's not....he's just here for this one issue. (sniffle sniffle)  Way to kill my buzz man. For those of you who are regulars here at Batman-News, I'll be the new reviewer for Gotham Academy, taking over from Joshua McDonald.  And…


  • All Star Section Eight #1 review

    All Star Section 8 #1: "I Often Wonder What the Vinters Buy" Written by Garth Ennis Illustrated by John McCrea Colored by John Kalisz Lettered by Pat Brosseau WARNING: Spoilers for a 15-year old comic book contained within. From 1996 to 2001, the team of Garth Ennis and John McCrea (with only the occasional fill-in…


  • Batman #41 review

    Welcome to the new (temporary) status quo.   In place of Batman, a creature of the shadows who tormented the criminal underworld by preying on their superstitions and cowardice, we get Robobat-bunny!  (Hey, if the suit's pilot can call it Robobat-bunny, then it's fair game).  He's a shiny armored, massive gun totting, completely conspicuous, and…


  • Upcoming Comics: June 10, 2015

    Holy cow! We’ve got a busy week this week! There are a ton of titles scheduled for release for week two, and interestingly enough, there are a decent amount of heavy hitters (Batman, Detective Comics, Batman/Superman). I enjoyed most of what I read last week, so here’s to continuing that trend! This week’s releases are…


  • Interview: Grayson's Tim Seeley and Tom King

    With the recent release of Grayson, Vol. 1: Agents of Spyral and the June 24th's forthcoming Grayson #9, writers Tim Seeley and Tom King have quite a bit to celebrate: this is their first collected volume for the series, after all, and Grayson has proven to be a critical and financial success.  To mark this…


  • Batman Beyond #1 review

    With the arrival of a new Batman Beyond series, I decided to spend a good chunk my time researching.  I went through almost every episode of the original 1999-2001 cartoon, as well as any comic I could scrounge up: Batman Beyond, Batman Beyond 2.0, Return of the Joker, Justice League Beyond, Justice League Beyond 2.0,…
